This HOWTO describes how to setup remote recording with DemoRecorder.

We use the following terminology:

"client" means the computer whose screen is to be recorded.
The hostname of the client is "clienthostname". Whereever you
find this in the instructions please replace it with the hostname
of the client.

"bigbrother" means the computer on which you start and stop the recording.
The hostname of "bigbrother" is "bigbrotherhostname".

Here's how to set it up:

On the client ( with hostname "clienthostname" ) please do the following steps:

setup fullscreen recordering according to the instructions in
/opt/DemoRecorder/doc/InstallFullscreen.txt

Please make sure that the option "DisallowTCP" in the gdm.conf file
is set to "false" or commented out.

After you have restarted X11, please issue the follwing command
to allow the bigbrother to access the client:

xhost +bigbrotherhostname

Please export a directory by NFS which you can mount on the same
path at bigbrother.
For example:

Create a directory called /Net/clienthostname/demorec-tmp as follows:

mkdir -p /Net/clienthostname/demorec-tmp

Export that directory or the parent-directory of it.
e.g. export the directory /Net/clienthostname

Make sure that it is writable and readable on both computers.
The easiest way is to give it all rights:
